Rawlings PM models

What significance does the PM stamp on a Rawlings Glove have? I assume it stands for Personal Model, but does that tell you anything about the glove?

I believe originally it was for Playmaker models.

Thanks Brett. Where do these gloves fall in the Rawlings line?

The three finger Playmaker models run the gamut from top of the line PM at approx. $30 to PM32 at approx. $4. Besides the Playmaker series, there is the four finger "Personal Model" series such as the MM, HSP, DS and HH models which were all high priced. The four finger G series were more moderately priced in the middle range. As time went on Rawlings introduced the TG and XPG series. Joe Phillip's "Glove Catalog Source Book" lists them all year by year. It is very informative.

Thanks for the info. Still very much a novice when it comes to glove collecting--I just know I love them.
